Winter, although not as popular as summer, is the second most highly chosen time of the year to get married. Of course, some of you may be tired from all the weddings you attend over the summer but those are long gone and fall has well set in. With winter holidays setting in December becomes another popular month to get married.

Winter weddings are also fun. You get to wear thicker heavier fabrics and don’t have to worry about breaking a sweat. It’s a great opportunity to wear velvet as well as heavy silk saris. Since you won’t already be feeling weighed down by the summer heat, the cooler months allow you to dress more excessively.

Net saris maybe in style but they’re not exactly appropriate for the cold weather months so put them away till it gets a bit warmer again and get shopping for more appropriate clothing.

A great start is to pair your saris with long-sleeved blouses. Don’t forget a matching shawl to keep you warm. Also keep in mind to opt for darker, richer colors and stay away from the pastels!

Lenghas began to replace saris as wedding wear. Some people choose to believe that saris are not elegant when in fact this is not true. Saris are very elegant and perfect for casual as well as formal and bridal wear. (more…)

Brides! The wait is over! There’s been a long debate; brides have been debating and still do between wearing a lengha or a sari on their wedding day. Both are traditional and elegant. Lenghas tend to be the winner among most brides. Perhaps because they’re flowing and the wide ghagra is perfect for pictures but saris are elegant in themselves. With the popularity of the lengha sari it is the perfect choice for brides. The beauty and grace of a sari combined with the elegance and popularity of the lengha come together for an ideal bridal wear. What more could you want. Personally, it wouldn’t be my wedding day choice because it’s too trendy but it’s not overly trendy and is perfect for many of those confused brides out there. Would you wear one on your wedding day?
